— Synopsis

Swing together — or not at all.

BIG SWING is a seven-person swing that invites people of all ages to swing into flow together. The interactive work combines the playful lightness of a childhood experience with a collective moment of pause: a movement we all know intuitively becomes a ritual that speaks to the child in the adult — and makes the value of cooperation tangible. Only by swinging together can you reach the height of the ceiling.

The installation creates a space where individuals connect, overcome barriers and become part of something larger. In a world often shaped by isolation and individualism, BIG SWING is a reminder of how much trust, rhythm and community it takes to reach new heights — literally and figuratively. The swing becomes a symbol of togetherness across age, background and circumstance.

Requirements: a 3.5 × 6 m space with a ceiling of at least 3 m and a hook, beam or crane point rated for 1 tonne over 3 m². Built from three-layer spruce and hemp rope.
